Location and Ventilation
LOCATION
The well planned and proper placement of your
appliance will result in long term operator conve-
nience and satisfactory performance.
The foll owing clearances must be maintained be-
tween the unit, including hose assemblies, and any
combustibl e or non- combusti bl e constructio n.
D
Ovens with casters --- 6” (15 cm)
D
Ovens without casters --- 12” (30 cm)
The following clearances are recommended, but
not required, for servicing.
D
Oven body sides --- 12” (30 cm)
D
Oven body back --- 12” (30 cm)
Pl ace the unit in an area which is free of drafts and
accessible for proper operation and servicing.
Keep the oven a rea free and clear of all combus-
tibles such as paper, cardboard, and flammable
liquids and solvents.
DO NOT place the oven on a curb base or seal to
the wall; either condition will prevent proper venti-
lationtotheblowermotors.Slightunevennesscan
be corrected w ith the adjustable legs.
The air vents on the left side of the unit must be
protected from heat and steam or water sources.
Consult the factory for an optional protective side
heat shield kit if excessive ambient heat or steam
is present on the left side of the unit.

Onallmodels, trippingtheblower motor’sthermal
overload device indicates an excessive ambient
temperature at the back ofthe oven. This must be
corrected to prevent permanent damage to the
oven. All motor bearings are permanently lubri-
cated by the manufacturer; there is no need for
additional lubrication during the operational life-
time of the motors.
VENTILATION
The n ecessity for a properly designed and in -
stalled ventilation system cannot be over empha-
sized. The ventilation system will allow the unit to
function properly while removing unwanted va-
porsand productsof combustionfromtheoperat-
ing area.
The a ppliance must be vented with a properlyde-
signed mechanically driven exhaust h ood. The
hood should be sized to completely cover the
equipmentplus an overhang ofat least 6”(15 cm)
on all sides not adjacent to a wall. The capacityof
the hood should be sized appropriately andprovi-
sions made for adequate makeup air.
WARNING!!
Failure to properly vent the oven can be
hazardous to the health of the operator;
and will result in operational problems,
unsatisfactory baking,and possibledam-
age to the equipment. Da mage sustained
as a direct resul t of improper ventilation
will not be covered by the Manufacturer’s
warranty.
